This book sets out to write nothing short of a new theory of the
heroic for today's world. It delves into the "why" of the hero as a
natural companion piece to the "how" of the hero as written by
Northrop Frye and Joseph Campbell over half a century ago. The
novels of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo serve as an anchor to the
theory as it challenges our notions of what is heroic about
nymphomaniacs, Holocaust survivors, spurious academics, cult
followers, terrorists, celebrities, photographers and writers of
novels who all attempt to claim the right to be "hero."
